Candidate Yvette Cooper also reminded guests of times after Second World War and explained that in todays world the on-going civil wars are showing a repeat of history.
Should she win the election, Yvette’s aims are to re-new the order within the Labour party itself, followed by the country’s political state and policies and in the near future to work on world policies.
In a speech to the Centre for European Reform in London last week, she said the government should hold a national conference to see how many places it could offer to refugees from Syria and the Mediterranean.

She added: “If every city took 10 refugee families, if every London Borough took 10 families, if every county council took ten families, if Scotland, Wales and every English region played their part, then in a month we’d have nearly 10,000 more places for vulnerable refugees fleeing danger, seeking safety.”
The dinner invite saw hundreds of people who are in support of Yvette and the Labour Party come together. Guests included names from both film and art industries alongside community associations and unions.
In the previous general election, the Labour Party didn’t receive the result it expected and is now wanting to elect a new leadership. Despite being the second party with the most votes in England, it lost to the Conservative party and Ed Miliband took the decision of electing a new head of party.
The last general election saw Labour’s votes increase by 1.5 per cent, yet they received 25 less seats with only 232 in contrast to the 256 seats won in 2010.
